5:36 contradictory statement here, graham richardson said he believes in changing your mind on issues, he says he doesn’t like it, but because his team (I.e. labor) is voting for it he’ll vote for it. He has no individual voice, just going in lockstep with his “team”. How about being on “team Australia”, that’s the team you should side with.

Richo, join us at our dinner table. The Voice is very much the topic of discussion - how it is divisive, unwarranted, causing ordinary Australians to be called stupid, or worse.

Andrews is the worst premier in history (debt, corruption, dictatorship) and has left Victoria for future generations, in ruins.

I had a lot of respect for “Richo” until he sadly admitted he didn’t like the Voice but would vote “Yes” because his “Team” would. That is the very worst reason to “sell out” on Australia and the future of ALL Australians, by supporting something you don’t even believe in - especially something so secretive, so deceptive and something we don’t even know the details of.

Graham why dont you vote as you feel not as the party tells you

Warren and Liz are absolutely right. If you are an indigenous Australian in Western Australia, and you don't take the opportunity to work for Rio Tinto, BHP, FMG, Woodside...or any of the big resource corporations, frankly...then you are not trying at all. Because they are bending over backwards to recruit.

That was an interesting first for Richo. In denial of conversations that has engaged the country and on the news every day with words dripping from the PM's mouth. Want's to sell the country because he is a team player. Want's to change the constitution because he is a team player. That is spinless. Probably will vote no on the day, but publicly a spinless grey suited yes. That is lame, weak, and unpatriotic. What about putting Australia before party? I am voting 'No' because I read the Uluru Statement and concluded it was bad to put a race-based body into the constitution with privileges no other race has. Australia is made up of many races but naturalised or born into a single nationality. Australia. One nation, one flag, and one anthem not many nations, or more flags. Aboriginal activists have unleashed hell on Australian citizens, and we will need to deal with the fallout carefully. The first thing necessary is to not promote aboriginal activists to promote their grievance industry. Unfortunately, some medial find relevance in controversy, not accurate news or truth.

Great Logic Graham Richardson - "I don't particularly like The Voice - but I'm going to vote for it for as my team is voting for it, and I'm a team player."Talk about Sheep!

How many yes voters are like richo. I don't really like it but i will vote for it because im a team player. People that are gutless.

NO-- always was, always will be.

Richo, When he gets back in because of corruption… it’s a hollow point…

All we have to do is apply ourselves and ignore those who do not want to see people progress out of sheer jelousy and spite. Those labling those who try and want to give life a crack usually get labeled as an Uncle Tom, Coconut and or a Captain Cook Whitey lover designed to shame you for actually having a go. Education and learning skills is key and it is that that will help close the gap, People need to move on and not rely on the set for life mentality on behalf of the the tax payer owing us something. Education is there for everyone and the parents need to step up.

I'd love if we reversed the mindset of dole bludgers being a burden on society. Every nation everywhere has unemployment and ours has only 4% unemployment, that's amazing, yet the LNP and ALP always point at welfare recipients first when it is time to make savings on the budget to make the 80,000+ a year income earners happy that they are punishing 'tax thieves'.

An independent audit on indigenous spending in this country I think would be a massive eye opener. Who's keeping the $, I wonder 🤔.The most disadvantaged indigenous communities in remote areas I don't believe would not see much benefit from programs or Native Title royalties

All the rats jumping off their sinking ships, just like mcgowan in WA

Welcome to the immigrants of this country and their descendants past and present. Some who have left conflict and turmoil to create a new life. Some who came here involuntarily. To those who have contributed to the society we live in. Those pioneering men and women who explored the country, cleared the land, and established agricultural activities, found valuable and important minerals, and introduced education, health systems, industry, commerce, law, and order. They gave us the sophisticated multicultural society we share as equals with all other Australians today.

Look, the only way to close the gap is to induce outback aboriginals to move to major cities where the services are located. You can have spiritual connection to the land or modern living but you can't have both.

I'm voting NO, however, the money which is supposed to go to providing better facilities to those who need it... but that money is being wasted on admin, who are lining their own pockets, while their own who are in need are not getting it. There must be a full audit of monies spent and outcomes. Any fraudulent grab of money must be addressed, then we'll see who is rorting the system. Royalties are paid by all mining companies in WA to the mobs in the area of the mines. It goes to the elders who are supposed to disperse it, for the betterment of the mob, but it's not changing anything, so where is it being spent. It's time those receiving money must be accountable for that money, no more of "secret business". The same as Native Title. What happens to the land handed "back to them"? Does it then come under United Nations control? Given that our greatest threat, has a seat as a permanent member on the United Nations, how do we protect that land, given that, that land is one containing rare earth which is in short supply. What are the repercussion of land under Native Title, not only to Aboriginal Nations, because that's what they were known as, will they no less longer be considered Australia.

When a person knows an entire multitude of indigenous people who have not worked a day in more than seventy years then something is obviously rotten about the whole existing system.

It's the UN Australia is under pressure to come out of She'll be Right mate ,el cheapo way Politician's service Australia.

Richo is an empty vessel.

"The first precondition to a Treaty is to have a Voice, and the Voice to negotiate such a Treaty." - Noel Pearson kzread.info/dash/bejne/n5ajxpemktWXdtI.html I thought the Voice was just an advisory body, not a negotiating body. They are two totally different things.

For context, Victoria's covid budget for 2020-2022 was 31.5 B for a population of 6.5M.

Preferential should be taken out of our voting system as preferential voting goes to Labor or Liberal no other party which is so wrong, we need a new party in parliament someone who loves Australia and it's people

Vote yes and the tax payer will pay millions of more dollars to there cause.

Chairman Dan replaced by Chairwoman Jacinta - nothings changed

5:56 bullshit, people are seriously engaged with the voice, and so for that reason due to its dangerous overreach we ARE engaged with it.

Where is the referendum for equality and funding for everyone else and not just aboriginal identifiers.

Follow the money.

We should of done a referendum to decide that Aboriginals should get up in the morning and go to work and pay taxes like all Australians.. that's inclusions

It’s interesting, the whole opportunity and victimhood debate with indigenous Australians. I work in an area with quite a large’ish indigenous population. A lot are in government homes and are there most days, not working. We are crying out for workers in my area. In saying that, I do work with 2 half indigenous guys. 1, was brought up around the indigenous culture, on his fathers side. The other was brought up around his white side of the family, with minimal to do with his mothers side of indigenous ancestry. The 1 who grew up around indigenous people, plays the victim continuously. He is about to quit here and is always complaining. He is only 24 and has gone from job to job. Opportunity is there, he just doesn’t take it. The other guy, brought up around his white side of the family, thrives at his job. He is actually looking at a promotion and this is only his second job in his lifetime. Funnily enough as well, they are both the same age. Just a bit of perspective.

Richo needs to get out more!

Lazy Linda's got a quid.

That is wrong with this country. You don't like the voice but your voting for it. Come on Graham!!!

Doesn't matter what we think, he's already got a job lined up 🖕🤬

This lady is absolutely right. It is a fallacy that some claim that Aboriginal/Indigenous (A/I) Australians are in any practical sense at a disadvantage when compared to other Australians. Some A/I Australians choose to live in remote areas and it is a fact that living in such areas makes it difficult for Governments to provide the services to them that other Australians more easily enjoy. A/I Australians have precisely the same access to services and assistance that other Australians have. That's not quite true. In fact, as stated here, there are many programs that benefit A/I Australians in ways that are not available to other Australians. It is therefore quite wrong of A/I Australians to play the victim card in these times. Unequal results for them have nothing at all to do with prejudice or injustice or an unwillingness to help them. Many A/I people simply fail to integrate into Australia as a whole and that is their choice. If Australia had not been settled by white people and had still not been discovered, A/I people would still live exactly as their ancestors have done we are told for some 60,000 years. Australia is the modern, prosperous, congenial place that it is precisely and ONLY because of white settlement. A/I people have, in my opinion, contributed little to Australia's success in the wider world.
